Danny,

 

Thanks for the answer. :-)

 

 

>a 1 second gateway failsafe interval with a 5 -6 second timeout

 

Just to make sure, I got you right - in my configuration it means I need to setup:

 

On LTM side:

 

Create custom (Gateway ICMP) monitor Interval = 1 & timeout = 5 | 6

 

Create a pool (with 1 IP = LTM default gateway)

 

Create failsafe monitor based on the pool with Threshold = 1 & Action = Fail Over.

 

 

Side note: Have you ever try using VLAN monitors? How do we set interval there (for ARP requests)?

 

 

What are the monitor parameters on router/FW side?

 

And what are the average failover timings on both sides?
